Yesterday I attended the Feast of Lanterns because my friend Lori told me about it. She had a booth there and I bought an awesome cup from her. I also ate some really tasty food and had a great time walking around and being out of the house!

This bird was so crazy! He kept spinning his head around and then puffing up. The woman said it was because he was happy, but I just think this bird was nuts.

I bought a great cup from Lori which I will have to take a photo of. I also got some great smelling soap from Body Eclectic Skincare which was the booth next door. I really love Castor/Pollux which is chocolate/vanilla and Nashira which is cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.
You can visit my friend Lori’s blog and also her Etsy shop, Fanfare and Foofaraw, if you want to buy some of her awesome pottery!

I loved the tea illustrations from last week, so I found even more for this week. and guess what? There are even MORE wonderful tea-related items on Etsy! Just go browse around!

Guess what I made?

Yeah, that’s right. It’s an ugly cat.

You mad?

Yesterday I got together with my friends Nich and Lori for Crafternoon! It had been a LONG time since we’d had one (well, they may have had them without me when I didn’t live here), and it was a lot of fun.

I made this silly little cat! I just made him up as I went along and wasn’t sure which order things should be sewn in. There are some definite things I would change in future plushies, but I think he turned out pretty cute! He has to wear that scarf though, or his head flops over. It’s hard to turn drawings into plushies!

I think he’ll look cute next to my scary green cat. The one my boyfriend hates. I should make a huge cat army. That would be pretty cool.

Earrings are the only jewelry I wear that I swap out semi-regularly. Everything else (rings, necklaces) stay pretty much the same for months (or years). But earrings are probably my favorite jewelry item because they can change an outfit so dramatically. I filled up my etsy shopping cart the other night, and while I certainly can’t afford to buy all of the lovely earrings above, I can dream!

PS. I actually own the earrings above from contrariwise. I highly recommend them!

I can’t believe I missed this. Oh golly, so many great shops! Check it out!
(I am willing to trade, btw, if anyone reading this wants something.)
